    Bikes scare the life out of me but saying that I can really appreciate the engineering that goes into them and this is no exception, that bike is truly stunning and if I had to have a bike then thats the style I'd go for but with a smaller engine (that has the same size as my Fiat car lol). Enjoy your Summer Rob and a bonus that Clare will be there too.

    As a motorcyclist for fifty years I have never seen the attraction of Harley Davidson but each to their own, we're all motorcyclists after all.

    • @Keirdo69r

      For me its the roads here, not ideal for Harleys, but give me one all day in the long roads in thw states 👌🏻

      I think it's more status symbol than anything else, I was offered a test drive on a HD FB but thought nah, Ducati Multistrada V4S, Triumph Tiger 1200 Rally Pro or the old faithful BMW R1250 GSA. So went with the R1250GS in the end.

      I can honestly say, the old story of if we have to explain, you will never understand.
      It has nothing to do with best, most useful, most comfortable, best handling or power. It’s about how it makes you feel. No two are the same and it’s a different trip for each rider.
      Don’t try to understand, but don’t put down those who do. Enjoy whatever is your thing.

    @bluehazeboy Год назад +1

    I snapped the cam belt on my focus & used my 1200 bandit for work, which I never usually do,so waiting for my car to be repaired, I used my bike for work & it opened the heavens on the way to work & after a 20 mile ride to work I really questioned my sanity & thought why am I doing this in the piddling rain, & the following morning,the weather was absolutely spot on & the ride home was bloomin brilliant, & that’s why i still ride after 47 years 🤘

  • @mju7752

  • @paulketchupwitheverything767
    @paulketchupwitheverything767 Год назад +2

    Good to see bikes on here as well as cars. I've never owned a Harley but out of their models the Sportsters appeal more than the bigger, more touring 'Glides and Road Kings etc.. The XR1200, flat-tracker-ish was OK too and didn't have too much chrome on it. I don't think the XRs were in the range for very long.

  • @Trevor_J_Neville
    @Trevor_J_Neville Год назад +1

    Very nice indeed Rob, I very nearly bought a 883 sportster back in 2007 after I got a spin on a work colleagues bike but the one I was looking at got sold before I’d decided I definitely wanted it so I’ve just stuck with Suzuki’s ever since . Health to enjoy many happy miles on it Rob 🏍💨

  • @colinbarber9324
    @colinbarber9324 Год назад +1

    You’ve done really well with that Rob, looks very nice. I’ve had Ducati twins and the Aprilia Tuono Factory with the Accra pipes, after a while the novelty of the exhaust sound does wane a bit, so I hope the Harley noise doesn’t get on your nerves, the up side is you’ve got the original pipes anyway if needed. Enjoy.

    It is said that we do ‘make’ luck - and you really have just made it. I have only ever bought one used bike that has been that carefully looked after, and I know it really is a buzz. It IS a gem of a purchase - especially with all those parts. Well done and I hope both you and your other half enjoy this summer going here, there, and everywhere.

    I know so many people who buy these and spec them up to personalise them and they rarely leave the dealership standard.
    I wouldn’t have considered one years ago, but I would now.
    I think they are the perfect for the summer and there are plenty of places to go and numerous events as well.
    Enjoy! 👏🏍️

    Glad you got the original exhaust as that is a LOUD bike, some MoT places will fail due to noise, I had to purchase silencers for mine just for the MoT. Your missus might need a better seat as my missus complained about the lack of comfort; anything over 30 miles was an ar5e ache. That price is a bargain. Lucky you.

    Never been a big HD fan with the exception of a `Fat Boy` one of my pals once had and spent a fortune on....... but that looks really really nice. As much as I still love sports bikes at 65 my back, wrists, arms and neck cannot suffer it any more but am never gonna sell my R1 which I`ve had for 16 yrs or my Tuono which sounds similar with the pipes I have on, although I run it with DB killers in them and it`s still loud lol But the HD thing is starting to grow on me. Like you say Rob " Once a biker". Might well see you out & about on a brekkie run to the coast 👍👍🏍
